      What is Ivermectin? And why is it important to know the story of this antiparasitic drug? Because "it hit headlines originally as a treatment for COVID based on one of the bigger cases of scientific fraud during the pandemic". @GidMK speaks about it in the #TheLongHaul📺pic.twitter.com/I4IvoCLRXl

      Governments in places like South America started mass distributing Ivermectin to people based on this fraudulent preprint. A couple of months later too late, the preprint was withdrawn. But at that point, the horse had already bolted.pic.twitter.com/PpIYGm9aET

      Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug used widely, mostly in developing countries, because it treats parasitic infections. Ivermectin hit headlines originally as a treatment for COVID based on one of the bigger cases of scientific fraud during the pandemic. Now with subtitles:pic.twitter.com/4tcTNFu5rp

      This preprint was adopted almost immediately into official government protocols in lower-income places. Governments started mass distributing Ivermectin based on this fraudulent preprint. The preprint was later withdrawn & all of the protocols were removed. Now with subtitles:pic.twitter.com/vVNl1i3g2L

      Although I haven't watched the full interview, I think, just for balance, you ought to have someone on to tell the truth.

      We had @gidmk on, who told the truth. Do you suggest we balance the truth with fiction?
